(54) | Disc and hub assembly for electromagnetic clutch in a compressor |
(57) The present invention relates to a disc and hub assembly for an electromagnetic clutch
of a compressor. The assembly comprises: a disc (120) adapted to be attracted to or
separated from a friction surface of a pulley under the action of an electromagnetic
coil; a hub (110) coupled to a driving shaft of the compressor, the hub penetrating
the disc (120) and having a flange (112) formed on its outer peripheral surface; a
plate spring (130) which includes a plate portion (131) coupled to the top surface
of the disc (120), a number of leaf spring portions (135) obliquely extending inwardly
from the plate portion (131) to be coupled to the flange (112) of the hub (110) and
having ends (137) which are bent toward the disc (120), and dampers (160) coupled
to the ends of the leaf spring portions (135); and shock-absorbing means (140) interposed
between the disc (120) and the plate portion (131) to reduce noise and impact during
on/off of the clutch. |
